Surface Embellishment

On Mondays as part of the after school activity curriculum, I am involved in a CREATIVE activity called Surface Embellishment. It's basically art club. The first lesson involved cutting vegetables in half (let's say a potato for visual purposes) and cutting out patterns in the vegetable. We then dipped the flat side of the vegetable with the pattern into some paint and placed it onto a piece of fresh A4 paper. This was truly an exhilarating moment in my life.

The pattern that would emerge onto the paper that once remained blank was absolutely astonishing.

The second lesson was basically the first lesson EXCEPT this time we didn't use vegetables. Oh no, we surpassed that level of skill a lesson ago. This time we used things like leaves and.... well vegetables again.

It was yet another great experience logged into my memory. 

More to come...
